i think the reason i kept writing after 100 days was because…

America's Balance expert keynote speaker
Imagine the perimeter of the four boxes being a fifth box – that’s our HQ, or head quarters, the paperwork of life.

 

i think the reason i kept writing after 100 days was because…

i am preparing to die.

We are all going to die.

This isn’t a radical or secret revelation. It’s simply the truth.

And we are either planning to die well or we are avoiding planning to die well.

i’m not saying the circumstances that will cause our death will be pleasant, i’m saying that regardless of how we die, we can have our affairs, our spirit, our relationships, in decent order.

Day number 2,401 (who cares?)

iPhone calculator app
Not proud of what i did, but i am a firm believer in taking calculated risks. If you wouldn’t consider attending my funeral…

 

Day number 2,401 (who cares?)

No one.

And few people care about your Facebook updates.

Yesterday was a blogging milestone – 12,000 posts, or, 2,400 consecutive days at five posts a day.

Yesterday was also the day i reached 150 Facebook ‘friends’. Two weeks ago i had 414.

Does it even matter?

Disney Keynote Speaker
Walked Disney California Adventure at 7am and then walked to Disneyland prior to it’s 8am opening.

 

March 21 as this is written. June 21 as it goes public. Happy Summer Solstice. Here’s to hoping this is your best Summer ever.

Back to today, March 21. In 10 days the sixth year of daily blogging ends and the seventh year begins.

There’s an almost universal misunderstanding about the daily blogging. And after 11,000 blog posts, it long ago became something to accept and not worry about.

And here’s the crazy part – the writing isn’t one daily blog post for nearly every day of the year.

It’s every single day, without exception.

It’s 2,191 days in a row.

Unbelievable, until it’s not.

And it’s five differently-themed posts a day on five differently-themed websites.

Insane? For sure. Does it matter? Only to this person.

Organized for double dipping?

We talked about it mid-trip, the notion of visiting Land and World on the same day. On the final day (yesterday, March 9) flying from Los Angeles to Orlando we semi-committed to doing it. On the drive home from the airport we decided to go for it.

Are we organized enough to design a meaningful culture?

EPCOT's World Showcase Promenade.
Walt Disney drew the first notion of “EPCOT” on a cocktail napkin. Is this relevant to employees?

 

Are we organized enough to find time:

  • To recognize something as significant
  • To add it in one of three big buckets: past, present, or future
  • To remember milestone dates
  • To evaluate the the value of a milestone
  • To decide which milestones to keep and which to discard
  • To prioritize milestones and their impact on your culture

Yesterday, January 24, 2015 was the second anniversary of a tragic moment for a friend and co-worker. Why significant? In 55 years, it was the first time personally knowing a suicide victim. It was the place, method and motive that made the world stop turning that morning at 8:47am.

Similiar in shock effect to September 11, 2001.
